"The Blues" (original title: "Las Azules") is an authentic time machine, perfectly capturing Mexico in the 1970s. This is not only achieved through its visual adaptation but also through its faithful representation of the idiosyncrasies of that era. I can understand how this portrayal might disturb some viewers; however, I can attest to its accuracy, having grown up in Mexico City during the 1970s. The depiction of a misogynistic society and the corruption of official institutions may provoke discomfort, making some question whether things were truly that bad and corrupt. This show reminded me: yes, they were, but with the important note that times have changed, or at least we aspire them to be different now. The storyline is engaging, and the slower moments serve to deepen character development, making us care about their inevitable fate-presented with a hint of optimism, by the way. I highly recommend this show, provided you're willing to acknowledge that what was considered "normal" back then no longer is. But isn't that what societal evolution is all about?
